Christian Women Online

I have joined a blog roll. Wow. Exciting. I have joinded CWO (Christian Women Online). There is so much good stuff there and I just wanted to be even more a part of it all. There are a couple of wonderful things going on over there right now.
First is the the site's Sweet Scent blog awards.
There are different catagories you can nominate a blog for-  such as Best Friend Award, Most Joyful Among Us, Best Home Maker, The Better Half Award, Best Group Blog and more. I am excited about voting for some of the blogs I love to read.
The second wonderful event on the site is from the wonderful Ann Voskamp (who until recently was a part of Choosing Home Blog). Ann has started One Thousand Gifts. From Ann: "A List of a Thousand Things, beginning with #1. I am daily jotting down items on my "Thousand Gifts List," working, one-by-one, up to a thousand gifts. Not of gifts I want. But of gifts I have."  AnnV's idea is so wonderful that CWO has provided a Mr. Linky for all who want to join in the Thousand Gifts List. Please go here to read more.
Of course, I think it is wonderful and am joining in as I am just overflowing with joyful thanksgiving for all that God has given me.
I am eager to read all the little wonderful everyday things and larger significant things each of us is thankful for. I am actually planning on keeping the list in a journal so that I can write each day where ever I am- all that I am thankful to have been given. Then when I am at a low point and not much remembering what the Lord has given and brought me thru- I will open it and be reminded.
